Lovely, cosy house. Perfect for two for a weekend away, nice countryside walks and history nearby. Anita's a great host - would definitely recommend.

A lovely little cottage and great for a few quiet nights away. Anita was a great host and very helpful. The cottage is well equipped and comfortable. Nice walks nearby if you have a dog (we do) and rally handy for trips down to Hastings and Eastbourne. Good value for money.

This is a great place for a quiet but very comfortable break. Everything you need is provided and the location is superb. Easy access to so many different sorts of activity. We had a lovely break I'm sure you will too!

You’ll love my place because of the wonderful views across open countryside, the spiral staircase and the tree growing through the balcony. It's as close as you can get to a treehouse with all the comforts of home. My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, business travelers, and families.

Gorgeously romantic detached annex with stunning views across an area of outstanding natural beauty. Generously proportioned studio room with French doors to large private balcony with large tree growing through it. Spiral staircase to downstairs kitchenette and shower room. Access to beautiful garden shared with the owner's family which backs onto open fields. Sleeps 2 very comfortably, can accommodate 4. Self catering.
It's on a tiny little lane with trees meeting over the road in places. There are lots of public footpaths including one that goes through next door's land and down through fields to the woods.
Treetops is an ideal retreat or lovenest - it's wonderful space for getting away from it all and right into the countryside; to relax and enjoy the beauty of nature; to heal, create music or art or to study. It's very much a cosy country property rather than a stylish hotel setting but it's nicely and very comfortably furnished in rustic style. Horses clop along the lane outside and birdsong fills the air. There is a farmer along the lane who has equipment in use and large vehicles during the week sometimes so it's more reliably peaceful at weekends. There's a deck with a built-in barbecue and seating which you are welcome to use or share should the owner be there at the time of your visit. It's possible to have the fridge/freezer stocked with a variety of locally sourced food on request including meat from the farm shop and wonderful cheeses and vegetables. Similarly should you require a bottle of chilled champagne on arrival this can be arranged with the owner.
Treetops has undergone major renovations recently, including a new balcony made of local Sussex oak by local craftsmen in the traditional Sussex style. The bathroom now has a much bigger walk-in shower and a heated towel rail. Upstairs it has new carpet, curtains, rug, cushions, TV, mattress, pillows, linen, blinds, a power socket with USB points, a little dressing table with a mirror and hairdryer and a more romantic light above the bed. In the kitchen it has new quarry tiles on the floor, new pictures, coat hooks, curtains, microwave, full sized cooker and the washing machine, which has only been used 3 times in as many years, has been replaced with a dishwasher, which will hopefully get more use and make guests feel properly off-duty and relaxed!
For children over 5 the owner has 2 bunks (single mattresses with sheets, pillows and duvets) which can be made up in the eaves and which have occasionally been used for extra adult guests - however, being in the eaves they are more suited to smaller visitors. The garden is ideal for kids, with a brick-built Wendy house and a wooden climbing frame/swing/slide set and more swings and hammocks from the trees, including one suitable for adults from the major oak in the front garden. There's a small pond protected by mesh. A high chair can be provided on request but there are no stair gates so it's not suitable for toddlers. There is a £10 per head per night charge for using the extra beds.
The owner is a music teacher and 2nd degree Reiki practitioner who lives in the main house with one child. Music (piano, guitar, ukulele, singing & theory) lessons can be arranged onsite as well as art and crafts activities in the owner's spacious art/music/healing studio. Reiki treatments can also be arranged during your visit. Other therapists can visit to offer Aromatherapy massage, Reflexology, Yoga and Meditation sessions. (Please note that prior notice is needed and that sometimes staff are not available due to other commitments). If you would like to have an art/music/pampering/healing holiday please inquire for further details.
Although smoking is not allowed inside, it is permitted on the balcony.

Herstmonceux is a lovely little Sussex village with two pubs, the Brewers Arms and the Woolpack. It's also got a French brasserie (The Sundial), a bistro (The Malthouse) and a really good Indian restaurant (Eastern Promise). We've got two convenience stores and a few other shops. It's about 15 mins walk to the village from Treetops.
If you don't mind driving or longer walks, the Merrie Harriers in Cowbeech is about a mile a half away and it's a favourite amongst locals - a very traditional pub with beams and ingelnook fireplaces, good food and beer and a lovely garden. The White Horse in Bodle Street is at the other end of the lane and does good pub food and has a nice atmosphere. The Lamb in Wartling (near the castle) is similar but more gourmet (and pricier). The Three Cups in Heathfield do really great food very reasonably and the Giant's Rest (by the Long Man) is also very good after a walk through the countryside.
Tucked away in historically rich 1066 country it is ideally located for walking, horse riding, cycling and painting. There is a strong arts and crafts movement locally and there are plenty of good pubs that serve excellent food within easy reach. For nature lovers there is an abundance of local bird life and the nearby marshes and levels on the way to the beach at Pevensey (15 minutes by car). 5 mins from the South Downs National Park it is within easy reach of Eastbourne, Tunbridge Wells, Hastings, Brighton, Ashdown (Pooh Bear) Forest and Forest Row Country Park. There is fishing at the local trout farm, golf, tennis, a windmill, Herstmonceux Castle and a Science Centre. Other nearby attractions include Knockhatch Adventure Park, Drusillas, Paradis Park, the Bluebell Railway, Sheffield Park, Michelham Priory, the White Horse at Alfriston and Long Man at Wilmington.

A beautiful little hideaway - with everything we needed for a break from the daily grind. Enjoyed drinks on the balcony before we made dinner and relaxed. Great area too with amazing views.

Beautiful accommodation and location. Sam is a great host, very helpful and accommodating. Would highly recommend this property for a relaxing weekend away.

Nicola2016-11-06T00:00:00Z

Enjoyed a lovely 3 night stay at the Treetop house set in beautiful countryside. Sam is a lovely host and was very accommodating, nothing was too much trouble. The accommodation was clean and tidy and had everything you could need for a little break away. Lots of lovely little countryside villages closeby with seaside towns just 20-40 minutes away, for the best of both worlds. Will definitely visit again, hopefully in the summer next time to enjoy the views more from the balcony outside. Thanks again Sam x

Karen2017-02-23T00:00:00Z

Such a beautiful part of the UK and the treehouse was lovely. Opening the blinds each morning to a stunning view of the valley was amazing. The bed was so comfortable it inspired us to shop for a new one on the way home! Would recommend anyone I know to stay here, so much to do but also very relaxing if you want to stay indoors. Thanks for your hospitality Sam!

Natalie2016-10-26T00:00:00Z

Sam was the perfect host, I'd highly recommend visiting her place, it was so quiet and peaceful and she gave us loads of helpful information about the local area and where to eat. I'm sure we'll be staying again sometime.

Nicholas2017-04-02T00:00:00Z

We spent an enjoyable couple of nights at Treetops. We liked the quirky nature of this property and our children especially really loved the outdoor space. Sam was available if we needed her but we also felt very appreciative of the privacy that we were afforded. The local area is wonderfully rural with lovely views out across the fields and we had a great time at the nearby Observatory and Science Park.

The house has so much character and is very clean and comfortable. The house has a lovely garden which we enjoyed sitting out in. Jayne and Andy were very welcoming and made us feel as though we were staying with friends. They were very helpful in terms of providing information on the local area, places to go and eat etc. We will certainly stay there again in the future. We had a very enjoyable stay.

We stayed at Simon's cottage for one night on a short notice weekend break. The cottage is very comfortable with all mod cons and Simon and his wife were excellent hosts, recommending the best local pubs and eateries. We had an excellent day at the nearby science park and observatory (5 minutes drive), went to the beach (15 minutes drive) and even to nearby Hailsham leisure centre where there is a great pool and waterslide. The nursery half a mile from the cottage is lovely and has a brilliant cafe. All in all a great spot for a break in the countryside.

Samantha2017-04-09T00:00:00Z

We had a wonderful stay at this charming cottage. The place is even lovelier than what it looks like in the pictures, and Simon and his wife are wonderful hosts who left the place ready for us, and even went the extra mile by nicely setting the table and providing us with milk, butter, tea and coffee (there's a Dolce Gusto coffee machine, which I particularly liked!). The kitchen is very well equipped, and the whole place is bigger than what it looks like in the photos - only the ceilings are bit short, because this is an authentic old cottage, but not only this wasn't a problem, it actually adds to the charm. All in all, we had a fantastic weekend in Sussex, definitely recommend. Thank you Simon!

Detached cottage with far-reaching countryside views situated in the popular village of Herstmonceux. Lovely Lime Cross Nursery across the street with a great cafe for lunch/afternoon tea. Just 10 minutes drive to Hailsham, 15 minutes drive to the nearby town of Bexhill-On Sea, 25 minutes to Eastbourne and 40 minutes to Rye. A great retreat for a long weekend.

Large living room with flat screen TV, WIFI, dining table for up to six, garden on two levels overlooking a dairy farm, two double bedrooms with separate staircase access to each, one bathroom with full bath and shower off one bedroom, full kitchen with fridge/freezer, cooker, hob, coffee machine, and washing machine.

A car is necessary to make use of the local towns close by, otherwise there is a local bus service to Bexhill-on-Sea and Polegate. The closest train station is Polegate an you can walk into Herstmonceux Village within 10 minutes where there is a local mini-market, post office, restaurant, Indian take-away, hairdressers and local pub.

A lovely and country-style cottage with 2 cozy bed rooms in the top floor (excellent beds btw), big living and dining room and a well equipped kitchen that allows for full cooking. We came with 2 kids and 2 parents and found much more of a cottage than we expected. The cottage is located between two villages with only a few hundred meters to the next pub/restaurant and in a very green area. The A271 brings you quite quickly to Hailsham for getting all your groceries and daily things. We found it a good place to start our daily sightseeing tours. We did not meet Dawn in person but he alway was instantly available for us and very hospitable and helpful. All was quite easy and pleasent. Thanks Dawn!

Located in a glorious, peaceful rural setting in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the High Weald of East Sussex, our annex offers the perfect get-away for a relaxing, peaceful stay in beautiful countryside.
Although situated in the depths of the countryside, we are only a 10 minute drive from the market town of Hailsham which has a good selection of shops and supermarkets (Waitrose, Tesco, Asda).

The accommodation, also known as 'Badgers Rest' (we have lots of badgers living in the adjacent woods!) consists of a lovely spacious and light open-plan area with comfortable king size bed, sofa, TV and fold-away table and chairs. A hair dryer is also provided.
The kitchen is small, but well equipped with fridge, ceramic hob, combination microwave/oven/grill, kettle, toaster, pots, pans and crockery and glasses. Tea, coffee and milk are provided and breakfast is available for an additional cost of £10.00/head per day if you would like me to provide this for you (orange juice/cereals/yogurt/bread/croissant/bacon/eggs/sausage/tomato).
The bathroom consists of a bath and Aqualisa power shower which is over the bath and large electric heated towel rail.
The annex is equipped with its own washing machine, iron and ironing board.

Old Studdens is a Sussex farmhouse with origins dating back to the 16th Century. The house and annex are situated at the end of a small country lane, surrounded by beautiful woodlands and countryside so if you are looking for a peaceful, rural setting, this is it! There are beautiful country and woodland walks from the front door, or alternatively the South Downs National Park is only a short drive away.
The local area has much to offer, whether it is exploring the historic town of Battle (10 miles away), relaxing on the seafront in Eastbourne (14 miles away), soaking up the atmosphere of the Lanes in Brighton (25 miles away) or just simply sampling the delights of one of the many excellent pubs in the local vicinity. We are also ideally situated for anyone attending Glyndebourne, which is only 14 miles away.
We are delighted to offer any help or advice to our guests regarding the local area. Our aim is to make your stay both comfortable and memorable.

A beautiful cosy place to stay for a few days. We had a flying visit, staying local to a wedding, and Fiona could not have made us more welcome or at home. The annexe is beautifully furnished and the bed incredibly comfortable. The shower is very powerful and the overall ambience really peaceful. We'll be back!

We had the most wonderful stay at Fiona's lovely annex, it couldn't have been more perfect!

Rachel2015-04-26T00:00:00Z

This lovely annex was even nicer than in the photos. It's essentially like a tiny cottage in the country side. We only stayed one night but had to drag ourselves away! Fiona was very helpfully communicative which made arranging everything very easy. Recommended!

Sarah-Jane2015-05-05T00:00:00Z

We had such a lovely time staying with Fiona. The annex is absolutely beautiful and Fiona couldn't of been any more helpful.

Laura2015-04-07T00:00:00Z

We had a lovely one night stay here with our 6 month old daughter. Everything we needed had been thought of and Fiona even helped us out with the use of her iron. She was a great host, on hand to help us out and make sure we were ok but left us to our own devices when not needed. The annex was lovely and I would recommend it to anyone.

Andrew2015-06-22T00:00:00Z

I implore you to stay here if you are seeking a cosy and peaceful countryside escape. The annex is just beautiful inside and has everything you can possibly need, including a perfect little kitchen. Fiona has made it homely yet stylish and is a fantastic and welcoming host. We stayed for 1 night but that was just not long enough. There is so much to see and explore in and around Herstmonceux. If you stay here which you should please have the breakfast from Fiona, it's just delicious. We shall be returning and have already told lots of our friends about this little haven. Thank you so much Fiona for being so kind and welcoming.

Cowbeech is a hamlet (no shops but a traditional village pub called The Merrie Harriers). Our house used to be The Cowbeech Village Stores and Post Office (and has a pub-like sign outside on verge). It is an old house but is light and spacious. It has a large garden with good views and plenty of nature (wild rabbits, free range chickens and sheep in the paddock). There is no public transport but bikes can be borrowed at small extra cost. Rural location ideal for country-lovers .

There are two bedrooms - both en-suite. The attic bedroom is under a separate listing. This one includes one 6ft bed (two beds put together) which can be separated to make a twin. It has an en-suite shower room with Aqualisa shower.

Cowbeech is a rural village/hamlet. It has a lovely pub which offers good food. There are some very good country walks in the immediate area and most take in a local pub. Most are also circular, including one walk direct from the front door. It is possible to walk cross-country to the coast at Pevensey. It is also good cycling countryside.

We loved our stay with Sue. She was an amazing host and did everything possible to make our stay comfortable. We were working in the area and finished around 1am, and Sue kindly arranged her lodger to be around to make sure we got in to the house OK, and even gave me a lift the next morning. I can highly recommend staying with Sue and experiencing her wonderful hospitality. Thanks so much again Sue for having us :)

Tracey2016-07-04T00:00:00Z

Our trip to Cowbeech for a local wedding couldn't have been better. Sue's hospitality was faultless with a nice big, clean double room. She provided us with a basic breakfast in the morning, and then gave us a lift back to our car (which we left at the wedding venue) as it was raining. Many thanks Sue.

The room and bathroom was impeccably prepared and the shower was amazing! We had a lovely breakfast on the patio with home grown tomatoes and fresh local eggs and enjoyed talking about music and gardens with Peter and Irene. The farmhouse is in a beautiful and peaceful setting with lots of lovely walks from the door. We also had a great meal at the Lamb Inn at Wartling. Looking forward to going back sometime. Highly recommended. Thank you!

Stay in a 1947 Showman's Living wagon (Molly) on our small holding with our sheep, Alpaca, Shetland ponies, bees and chickens. Walk down the lane or along the foot paths, then you can relax in the hot tub before retiring to the cozy living van bed.

The living van consists of a kitchen with hot and cold running water, fridge and gas cooker, a living room with seating for four or more which also doubles up as a second small double bed, a working wood burner and original features like the tiled fire place, cut glass mirror and bureau desk with display case. A separate bedroom with storage and small double bed, dressing table and cut glass mirror. There is a chemical toilet within the Living van which is almost the same as a normal toilet but you also have the use of a slipper bath, bathroom wash basin with led lit mirror and a conventional high level flush toilet just yards from the living van located in a 1930's shepherds lookers hut. Hopefully the pictures say it all but a romantic cozy adventure in a historic showman's living wagon sums it up. You can have a taste of what life was like for the travelling show folk of years gone by with a few added luxuries, although we know of showmen that still live and work as generations did before.

Magham Down is a quiet village although it straddles the main A271 we are situated on a small country lane as are most other properties in Magham Down.

Michael and Jill were brilliant hosts, they gave us really good information about how to get there and couldn't have been more welcoming. We loved the wagon and bathing in the shepherd's lookout was just a whole new experience. It was really warm and atmospheric and felt like another world. The wagon is really fun with lots of kitsch china and knick knacks. We made full use of the hot tub too, and the breakfast was phenomenal. We didn't really do it justice though and would love to get back another time, it would be really cosy in Winter too!!

The host canceled this reservation 32 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Michael and Jill made us feel very welcome and both showed us around, even pointing out features we hadn't realised were included - the hot tub with watering can shower and the most amazing bathroom- a separate shepherd's hut with a lovely freestanding slipper bath. They were the perfect hosts; nothing was too much trouble for them. Our 4yr old son loved the whole adventure, playing 'house' in the wagon, feasting on a huge breakfast, feeding the animals the next morning and walking up the pretty lane with their 2 Shetland ponies. The whole trip was utterly enchanting and totally unique.

We booked Michael and Jill's showman's wagon for a one night only and left wishing we had stayed for longer! The wagon itself is utterly charming but turned out to be a mere piece in the puzzle in the most magical experience. Michael and Jill were such generous hosts: They welcomed us with warm smiles, a box of chocolates and wine in the fridge. Not to mention the delicious home cooked breakfast that was delivered to the wagon's door complete with fresh coffee and juice. The breakfast included delicious eggs and honey from their small farm. Michael and Jill kindly let us make use of their hot tub, which was luxuriously hot, and positioned next to a hot outdoor shower - Perfect for a October's day/night or a summers evening... As if this wasn't enough our two boys were treated to feeding the animals, riding their shetland ponies, and given some honeycomb to take home. Honestly I don't think the photo's don't do the whole experience justice: there is an outbuilding/bathroom with a roll top bath as well as a working loo and sink, and a lovely outside eating/cooking area. Thanks Michael and Jill you were the most hospitable hosts imaginable - we are already plotting out return!

After looking for the perfect location for a fashion shoot we found it at Micheal and Jill's. Very helpful through the booking process and replied to messages swiftly. When we arrived at the farm we were welcomed by the happy couple and their array of farm animals. The location was in a beautiful setting and we couldn't have asked for a better hospitality. Throughout the day we were able to take breaks from the shoot and enjoy the surroundings. We were given the opportunity to feed the new lambs as well as sitting in the sun eating homemade cake and drink endless cups of tea. If you're from the city and need that special escape then this is your place! Would have loved to stay longer!

We had a fantastic time staying at the Showman's Living Wagon. Michael & Jill were really generous, attentive hosts. We loved everything about our stay, the wagon, cake and tea upon arrival, feeding the lambs, the roll top bath, seeing the sunset from the wagon, eating breakfast outside (which included Michael & Jill's honey) and seeing the international space station from the hot tub!

Gemma 2015-04-16T00:00:00Z

We spent the most magical weekend here with our children (5 and 7 years). The wagon is immaculate and beautiful inside - a totally unique experience. Outside, the grounds are lovely, with animals close enough to pet. My children were still talking about Teddy the pony all the way back home to Oxford. Jill and Michael are the perfect hosts. They delivered to our wagon each morning the most delicious breakfasts, with homemade conserves and honey from their bees. We spent one morning by the seaside and the children were already begging to come back to Michael and Jill's wagon to spend more time with the animals. We would love to go back there again. I will be recommending this place to all my friends and family.

Victoria2016-05-23T00:00:00Z

We had the most incredible time! We thought we'd just signed up for quirky accommodation with a hot tub, when in fact we had signed up for a whole experience! We had great communication in the lead up and when we arrived were greeted by Jill, Michael and a bottle of wine. They cooked us a delicious breakfast the following morning, then throughout the day we got to feed their sheep and alpaca, walk their Shetland ponies and don the beekeeping suits and have a look at their bees (which produce the most amazing tasting honey). It was such a great 24 hours and we hope to go back- not least so we can enjoy the beautiful bathroom in the Shepherds Hut next door!

There are loads of lovely things to do around here. We are in the perfect location for either seaside or countryside activities.
There are a vast array of beautiful country walks from right outside our front door where you will find yourself strolling across the rolling countryside of East Sussex, at the foot of the South Downs National Park. If you find yourself a little parched than there are a great selection of pubs in the area within walking distance. Our favourite pub is called the Black Duck which is a 5 min drive from us. There is also a lovely local pub in our village with friendly staff and good food.
I will leave a couple of OS maps for you to navigate yourselves across the endless fields.
The closest village to us has a great castle in it called Herstmonceux castle, which has lovely walks around it and the castle is pretty magnificent. There is also a science centre here which is really fun for the kids.
Further afield is Bedgebury which has a great mountain biking trail and go ape course for the kids and big kids.
On the coast our favourite beach is called Birling Gap, and very close to this is the famous seven sisters national park.
Our favourite closest town is Hastings Old Town where there are loads of great pubs and shops. And of course you have Brighton and Hove a short hop and a skip away.
We are very happy to point you in the right direction for any activities you desire.

This is easily one of the best air bnbs I have stayed in. The house is beautiful and situated in a truly gorgeous part of the countryside. What makes this house is the glamping area closeby. Although we didn't stay in the luxury yurts, we took fall use of the outdoor dining area, fire pit and gorgeous views. I would highly recommend this house for a large group booking incorporating the house and yurts. The house would also make a lovely get away in its own right. Full marks!!! We will be back next year

Very quaint cottage on the outskirts of the village. A group of four of us used it for a business retreat. Amazing views from the garden. Really enjoyed the fires. Immy was an excellent host at every step. Walkable to the local pub, where the staff were friendly and food was good.

We stayed over New Years in a big party of 8 adults and 4 babies. The house is really homely, cosy and inviting. Open fires and warm wool blankets to snuggle under after a long walk in the beautiful countryside surrounding the cottage. There's a nice pub in walking distance and shops in the village aren't far. Immy is a great host, super relaxed which makes you feel at home. My husband had fun keeping the fire and Rayburn range alight over night. I'd highly recommend a stay here.

vicky2017-01-02T00:00:00Z

Immy was a great host, getting in touch with us in advance and there when we arrived. It's a lovely house, full of character and nice touches. Garden full of mature trees and really natural, including pond. A very rural spot, surrounded by fields. A bit of a drive to get anywhere but a great farm shop just up the road. Beds really are comfortable and lovely linen and towels. Kitchen well equipped and it did feel like home from home. Rustic features like in the sunny courtyard at the back are charming, with cheery geraniums, and there's a lovely spot to sit by the pond too. Smart modern bathrooms. Would have liked more comfortable seating outside, then I would have lazed for hours out there. Pool was a bonus and we had lovely weather. Lovely atmosphere in the house, felt at home.

Deborah2016-08-20T00:00:00Z

A wonderful cottage, and warmly welcomed. Me and a group of 8 friends had a great weekend here. Everything we needed was provided and the rooms were extraordinarily comfortable. Immy was very helpful! Would definitely come back here.

Peter2016-07-25T00:00:00Z

A group of us decided to get away for the bank holiday weekend, and Immy was warm and friendly and very accommodating with our late booking and in answering all our questions and requests. The house is lovely and extremely comfortable, and manages to feel both homely and surprisingly spacious. The mature and large garden is beautiful, and we enjoyed eating outside on the patio and swimming in the pool all weekend. The on-site glamping is small and out of sight of the main house, so we barely noticed the campers. The location is a beautiful and quiet hamlet with a farm shop and great pub within walking distance, and within easy driving distance of the coast and several historic and tourist points of interest. We would definitely recommend it.

The Limes is a beautiful Grade 2 listed 18th century property in the historic village of Boreham (URL HIDDEN)that can sleep up to 17 comfortably. It is in an area of outstanding natural beauty with amazing uninterrupted views over the Weald and not far from the sea.

The one acre garden has a tennis court tucked down on a lower level and whether it's a fun game of tennis, relaxation on the tree hung swing, a game of giant size Jenga or a game of croquet there is plenty to do outside for all the family without going too far.Not only that but it is fascinating to watch the buzzards circling overhead often being mobbed by crows as well as the house martins building their nests under the eaves.
However only a couple of miles away there is the Herstmonceux observatory with its science centre, a must for curious children and adults alike not only for daytime visits but also for evening viewings of the stars. There is also the Herstmonceux castle and the lottery aided restored windmill in the vicinity.
